Thomas Sowell cites Milton Friedman in 2026 interview “Milton Friedman used to say that people call a capitalist society a profit society—it’s a profit-and-loss society. The losses are just as important as the profits, because the losses force people to stop doing things that are not working.” “Only those who are doing things that can be self-supporting can continue.”

Thomas Sowell: "Most of the conservative intellectuals started out on the left. Milton Friedman himself pointed out that at a very early period in his life, he was a Keynesian, he was certainly a liberal. Hayek was a socialist. Wiliam F. Buckley was a conservative from day one, but he was the exception, not the rule."
